[Mgs] MGB steering wheel & turn signal cancellation

[Dodd, Kelvin]

Eric:

The original LE hub had a pair of extensions cast into it to operate the
turn signal cancellation funcion. These original hubs are getting hard
to find and the answer Moss came up with to fit the LE wheels was to use
the earlier hub casting, but provide a bolt-on adapter piece that goes
on the back of the hub to do the same job. That way, one hub can be used
on both early and late cars.

If you have one of the Moss repro wheel assemblies, you are missing that
adapter piece.

One other way that hub suppliers such as Motolita and Mountney get
around this problem is to supply roll pins that can be pressed into
holes in the back surface of the hub.

Hope this helps

Kelvin.
